The leadership and members of IYM received with great pains the news of the attack on Our Son, a former Governor of Rivers state,a respected and performing Minister of the federal republic of Nigeria while on a national assignment in Madrid Spain by some disgruntled and misguided persons .
1.We Condemn in strong terms such Barbaric and unpatriotic actions which shows the non-nationalistic nature of the perpetrators.
2.We want to bring to the notice of the perpetrators that Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is an IKWERRE son and a greatly revered and loved son.The IKWERRE people as distinct people will never tolerate any attack on our sons and daughters in any part of the world.Therefore the attackers and sponsors must be put on notice.
3.We call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria *HE Mohammadu Buhari GCFR* to direct the diplomatic community in Spain to fish out perpetrators of such act and take necessary actions.
4.As Ikwerre people,we coexist and relate well with people from all walks of life and therefore considers it provocative and malicious for people to gather themselves under any umbrella to attack our Son.Otherwise we call on all other ethnic Organisations to call their members and affiliate bodies to order.
5.We want to assure everyone that Ikwerre people are law abiding but never cowards and must not be taken for granted while calling on our Sons and Daughters to remain calm while waiting for further decisions of the leadership.
Certainly we will continue to defend our people anyday anytime...OHIA HIA! KPEM!! KPETEM !!!
